WyoLotto's Chief Operations Officer, Robin Medina, has been appointed to a national committee dedicated to supporting problem gambling initiatives. This committee is part of the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) and is responsible for managing the annual selection of nominations and the election of the Board of Directors overseeing the NCPG.

"Our foundation as a corporation is to manage what we do in a responsible manner for the state of Wyoming. The selection of Robin to this committee demonstrates that we are leading the way nationally when it comes to promoting responsible gambling and raising awareness of problem gambling," stated Jon Clontz, CEO of WyoLotto.

Previously, WyoLotto applied for and joined the NCPG and the Responsible Gambling Verification Program of the North American State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL). This program includes a detailed plan to educate players, retailers, and the public on responsible gambling and provides guidance for those facing gambling problems.

"Our verification was a major achievement for us, and it is also an achievement for Wyoming. We are now accredited nationally for our efforts to take care of Wyoming when it comes to gambling, and this helps everyone in the state," Medina explained.

She further stated, "Through these efforts, we have been recognized on a national level, which is why I have been selected for the Nominations and Selection Committee for NCPG. I am very excited and see this as an opportunity to further support our mission."

Those experiencing gambling issues can reach out for help through the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER, accessible 24/7 for free and confidential assistance.
